“…Massartella (Leptophlebiidae) shows a similar pattern, as was initially stated by Pescador and Peters (1990); nevertheless, the discovery of new species of the genus in Venezuelan Tepuis (Derka, 2002;Derka, Svitok, & Schlögl, 2009) would suggest a different biogeographical origin.…”

Aim South America is considered a biologically hybrid continent. To the south, the Patagonian region harbours a unique biota strongly related to other southern continents. To the northern portion, tropical and subtropical areas from the Neotropical region show a more complex taxocoenosis related to the Nearctic and Afro‐Oriental regions. The South American Transition Zone (STZ) has been proposed to belong simultaneously to both regions. This work aimed to test the validity of STZ in the light of the distributions of an ancient freshwater taxon. Location South America. Taxon Ephemeroptera. Methods We compiled a dataset including all mayfly species having at least one record in South America (8,268 records for 661 species). By using the Network Analysis Method (NAM), we analysed the validity and delimitation of the STZ. Results The distributions of Ephemeroptera give rise to groups of cohesively sympatric species with a clear distinction between Patagonian and Neotropical regions. Although some degree of overlap occurs between them, the overlapping area does not match the STZ to a significant extent. The units of co‐occurring species recovered show that Neotropical groups mainly occupy the STZ. Main conclusions Almost the entire provinces of Puna, Desert and Paramo are not supported as part of the STZ by mayfly distribution. The transition zone between Patagonian and Neotropical mayfly fauna involves Southern Puna and high Andes (south to 17° S latitude), Monte province, and a narrow portion of Patagonian steppe with Chubut River being the southern limit.

“…This includes many aquatic species with a limited (endemic) geographical distribution (e.g. Č iampor and Kodada 1999; Kodada and Jäch 1999;Derka 2002;Derka et al 2009), such as those of Hydrolutos (Issa and Iaffe 1999). All of them appear as unique and unusual in their aquatic ecology, enabled by a plastron-like structure on pleurosternal area of thorax and abdomen.…”

“…This concerns also aquatic insects (e.g. Čiampor Jr et al 2013, Kodada et al 2012, Kodada & Jäch 1999, Derka 2002, Derka et al 2009. However, contrasting with an expected high diversity, only some 61 species of Elmidae are recorded from whole Venezuela (Segura et al 2013).…”

Two new species of the subfamily Larainae (Insecta: Coleoptera: Elmidae), Hexanchorus angeli n. sp. and Hypsilara autanai n. sp., are described from Guyana region in Venezuela. We provide habitus photographs, detail drawings of both male and female genitalia, and description of morphological features important for discrimination of the new species. Molecular differences within genera were measured using 816bp fragment of mtDNA gene for cytochrome oxidase c subunit I. Sequence divergences among species are discussed.
